You may see the messages described in this article while tracking time with your Web Client if your time tracking is interrupted for a variety of reasons. We'll provide some additional detail, below, as to what those messages mean and why you are receiving them.

Timetracker 4 | Automatic Tracking Messages

Below are the reasons that tracking may pause or stop on the Timetracker 4 Web Client:

Tracking Stopped - Track Length Exceeded

Under "Configuration" -> "Time Tracking", an admin can set a number, in hours, at which the Web Client will stop tracking once this number has been exceeded. When you cross that threshold, time tracking will stop and the following message will display:

Tracking Stopped - Entry Edited or Deleted by User

If a user edits or deletes the current time track, tracking will stop on that work item and the following message will display:

Connection to server lost

If the Web Client loses connection to TFS due to some kind of network issue, the following message will display. Time tracking does not stop in this case and continues in the background until connectivity has been re-established.
